Answer: x = -6
Step-by-step explanation: The problem gave us the y value, so we can just substitute it into the equation and solve it.
y = x - 6
y = 2x
2x = x - 6 (substitute the y value into the equation)
1x = -6 (subtract x on each side)
x = -6 (1x is basically saying x so you do not need to divide)
All you can do to this expression is simplify.
You need to combine all "like terms." There are two q terms so you need to combine those. To combine "like terms", simply add their coefficients. 6q has a coefficient of 6 and q has a coefficient of 1. So:

Therefore your end result is:
Answer:
The difference between 19 and 8 is 11.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The difference between a number and 8 is 11
Find the number.
Solution:
Let the unknown number be 
The difference between the unknown number can be written as:

We are given that the difference =11
So we can write the equation to find
as :

Using additive property to solve for 
Adding 8 to both sides to isolate
on one side.

∴ 
∴ The unknown number = 19

<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations
</u>
It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them
- When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
- When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
- Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different
The first expression is

Let's arrange into format:

We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is

Now for the second expression

Let's arrange into format

It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been
